Saturday evening number OF
young men were bathing in the
Wabash pond, about mile south
of Greentop. The pond covers
several acres and is very deep.
While swimming across the pond
one of the young men, Theodore
Sells, without uttering any cry of
alarm went down and was drown
ed. He had gone into the water
while warm. In the exertion to
keep pace with the more rapid
swimmers it is supposed he burst
a blood vessel. The body was re-
covered Sunday morning and was
buried Monday morning in the
Greentop cemetery.

GREENTop CRUMBS.
Weather quite warm.

/ NebtueT Qulto Woih
The rains that have fallen in the
last week will add thousands of
dollars to the value of the grow
ing crops. The farmers say they
never knew corn to grow faster
than it has in the last two weeks,
and every one has broad smile on
his countenance in anticipation of
the bountiful crops to be harvest
ed this fall.
Those same parties, who were
some time ago predicting severe
drouth are now, since the rains,
predicting a great deal of wet
weather.
On last Wednesday our little
town was very much surprised
and grieved by the news being cir
culated that Mrs. DR.. Wilson had,
while going about her daily ovoca-
tons, suddenly dropped dead. Mrs.
Wilson was apparently well up to
the time of her death. The Doc
tor had gone to Kirksville, and at
the time no one was present ex-
cept the little boy, Wallace, and
the two little girls, Maggie and
Susie; they gave the alarm imme-
diately. and friends ran in and
did everything in their power to
resuscitate, and bring back the
life that had so suddenly gone out;
but all their efforts were unavail-
ing. A telegram was sent to the
doctor Informing him of the sad
occurrence, who Immediately
fastened home. The next day the
remains were taken from the home
to the church where the funeral
sevice was conducted by ED.
Rose after which they were borne
to the cemetery followed by a
large concourse of friends. Mrs.
Wilson was born in Augusta
county, Va, and at the time of
her death was forty-three years
old. The bereaved family has the
sympathy of TIE entire communi-
tY.
On Saturday evening about sew
en- o'clock Theodore Sells
Familiarity called Dora-with some
other boys left town and went to
the tank, a mile south of town, for
the purpose of bathing. After
they had been gone about three
fourths of an hour Charles Win
free came back with the intelli-
gence that Dora, while attempting
to swim the pond, had sunk be-
meath the surface and drowned.
People fastened down and in
short time a large crowd of men
had gathered in order to try and
recover the body; they worked IN
til about twelve o'clock at night
but were not able to recover the
body, it having gone down in
about fifteen feet of water. 1t be-
ing too dark to work to any advan-
tage all went home to return the
nextmorning and renew the search.
Mr.. Buckalew, who lives near the
pond, went early Sunday morning
and with hook attached to the
end of a long pole, all of which he
had constructed for the purpose,
recovered the body in a short time.
1t was then brought to town, and
after being put in a coffin was taken
home, from which place it was
taken on Monday at ten o'clock to
Greentop cemetery and laid to
rest. Dora was the son of Miles
Sells who lives about mile north
of town, and was about twenty
years old. He was quiet, inof-
fensive young man, and highly
esteemed by all who knew him.
He was a mothers pride and sis
ter's Joy, then how poignant to
their hearts must be this great
sorrow. The family has the heart
felt sympathy of the entire COM
munity. UNCLE Tom.
